TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Connecticut Tattoo artist leaves lasting impact on more than the skin

For over two decades now a woman named Carolyn Hawkins has been leaving an impact on people’s skin with her tattoo skills. Now she’s helping the fight against one of the most misunderstood diseases in the world.

For the last 4 years Carolyn has been helping the fight against Lyme Disease. Every February she donates funds from her shop in Shelton to the Lyme Warrior Project as part of the Ink to End Lyme program.

Shelton Tattoo Shop was one of 22 tattoo locations around the country who took part this year.

Not only do they raise money for the cause but also awareness for a disease many people don’t know much about. Back in 2020 before the pandemic they took in over $20,000.

Great work!
